UCEPROTECT accused of extorting website owners
Original: Tell HN: Uceprotect is extorting website owners
A widely shared Hacker News post accuses UCEPROTECT, a spam blacklist operator, of extorting website owners by listing their IPs and then charging for removal. Commenters are debating whether the blacklist service exploits delisting fees as a business model and how site owners can respond when their mail servers are blocked.
Why now: The accusation touches a nerve among operators who rely on email deliverability and resent paying delisting fees.
